I picked up a new set of rims last nite and put em on this morning. I took a couple of shots of before and after pics. Tell me your thoughts?
before:
After:
They look pretty nice
but I think i need a little bit of time to adjust to them. However I think a lower profile tyre will look much better - for either sets i guess...!
...but the good thing is, i still have the 'before' set in my room. kekekz.

I like the before one, don't worry about the spoiler, lower your car first to complete the "race" look ehhehe

Second look best I think, my girlfriend agrees.
Can you please tell me where you got the frontbar from?
All I can find from suppliers are Veilside Kits ;(

Black wheels suck ass unless the rest of the car is completely mat black and stealth like.

thanx for feedback guys.
wellz, ive finally settled in with the new look
...will go for a lower profile tyre once this set of tyres wear out and will drop the car asap as soon as i get the $$ hehhez.
as for my front bar, i got it off the GB that occured a while ago.
However, I do believe u can get the bozz speed front bar from DMD.

Hmm tough question JOeJOe. Yellow is a loud colour so you need rims that will match. Rims the exact same yellow could be interesting. It would be either dead set wrong or just brilliant and nothing in between though.
Other than that I like Speedy's range. See if any of their's takes your fancy...
